Go Tigers!

I am pulling for the Tigers but you won't get complete games from the starters every day and the bullpen is really iffy.

Also, the Yankees fans better have some connection to New York or else it's a bit embarrassing.

Bump.

Tigers up 2-0 in the series.

Verlander on the mound in game 3.

It's not like the Yankees only had 4 hits, and scored no runs today.

What's the series format, 2-3-2 or 2-2-1-1-1 like in hockey?

Alright, would definitely want to close it out in the D then.

Honestly, I wrote off the series as a loss as soon as Jeter went down. Considering Jeter and Ibanez have been the only consistent hitters this entire postseason, losing half of that hurts like hell. On top of that, the psychological effect of losing the captain when the team already entered the playoffs on a downslide is just going to kill the team. They've been playing without any life or heart, and they're not about to turn that around without Jeter.

GO TIGERS!!!

Yankees bats are as hot as Lindsay lohans acting career

Dude. Come on. What the hell is the point of this post? Do you really need to be a dick and kick me while I'm already down?

I'm not trying to make excuses for losing. The Yankees hitters have been absolutely beyond miserable. The Tigers pitching (with the exception of Valverde) has been excellent. However, if you don't think that losing Jeter has a massively significant psychological effect on the rest of the team, you don't know baseball, and you certainly don't know the Yankees.

no excuses. you make it like they are going to lose cause of jeter. our pitching is just killing the yankees and having jeter wouldnt change anything. dont give me that captain bull. just cause you see them talking about it on sportcenter doesnt mean it's true. having jeter wouldnt change anything. You think because jeter is out it is causing your batters not to get hits. psychological effect? get real.
